The terrorists that pulled this off are clearly dead, along with the innocent

The political forces behind them, however, are going to benefit. As with all
politics, it's entirely corrupt.
Well, when I say "they" I mean they're cause/organization, etc.
Although, they may believe that they are doing themselves good too, such
as the Japanese kamikaze pilots, or some middle eastern extremists.
That Saudi millionaire, bin Laudin, or whatever his name is, claimed something
BIG was coming, but I'd more easily believe a bunch of the McVeigh-style
rednecks would do this sort of thing.
Of course, the WTC has been the target of middle-eastern terrorism before ...
I think it would be pretty difficult for a middle eastern organization to find
personnel to pull off four concurrent hijackings in the U.S. as easily as the
local rednecks could do it. What's more, the middle-eastern terrorists don't
normally do things on this scale, those embassy bombings being an exception
rather than the rule. This invites a level of retaliation that they (the
middle-eastern groups) are unwilling to tolerate. Those redneck groups don't
care if they kill a billion people.
The suicidal nature of this combination of acts points to the middle-easterners,
yet the pointless nature points at the rednecks. Who knows?
It certainly is confusing. I question a bunch of Mcviegh types too, I
mean, I don't think we normally get a big concentration of McViegh
types..... you'd have to be really crazy, not just a follower of a
crazy.
I think I understand and agree with your assessment of middle eastern
terrorists too. They tend not to do things this big.
